Man. Man. This
Paulsen guy. He definitely isn't a teen writer, or a children' writer. He is a writer. A darn, darn, darn good one. I don't know why more adults don't read him. Maybe some do and I just don't know any of them. But one thing is for sure, they should.
The Quilt is the last in a
trilogy of about Alida, The Boy's grandmother, who took care of him when he was a young child, with a drunk mother who had moved to
Chicago to work in a war factory while his dad was in
WW2. Alida is a lives in a small town in the
Canadian border in Minnesota and speaks
Norwegian and loves her grandson and all of life. You can tell that Paulsen is the man he is today because of the influence of this amazing woman.
